Initial Self Pay Consults

Initial consults are allotted 90 minutes to offer a wide window to be able to catch baby's hunger cues. When your baby is content, we will talk together to form a treatment plan that works best for your family. You will then have access to one month of unlimited messaging, support and followup.

Initial Prenatal Consults cover all content of my prenatal class with a focus on your specific concerns.

HSA/FSA cards accepted & clients may request for a superbill if attempting to get reimbursement from an out of network insurance provider.

Month of Messaging Support

This service is for established clients who don't feel the need for a followup consult, but still would like a resource for simple questions after a month has passed since most recent visit. It is also offered for families who don't warrant a full lactation consultation, but would like unlimited messaging support from an educated and empathetic professional. This service is created for families of new babies whom breastfeeding is going well, yet they have common questions along the way. An experienced professional can provide better answers and reassurance than Dr. Google, or social media. Parents are welcome to send messages at any time of the day or night, and will receive a response within 24 hours. HSA/FSA cards are accepted.

What Clients Say

"The best thing about Julie is her desire to meet moms where they are at and help them grow. She brings her compassionate heart, collaborative knowledge-base, and soooo many resources to help you in some of the most vulnerable moments of motherhood. With loving kindness she has supported our family through two completely different breastfeeding experiences. She has been calm and an encouraging participant in helping us navigate both the beauty and difficulties of breastfeeding. I’m so thankful to have had her as a part of our postpartum care team."

Bethany

"Meeting with a lactation consultant before giving birth as a first time mom was such a smart way to prepare for baby. Julie was and continues (after birth) to be a supportive, nonjudgmental resource and wealth of knowledge. My husband attended the consultation with me and was able to help with all of the “strategies” we learned in class while sleep deprived in the hospital those first few days. The ability to text Julie with questions has been invaluable. Before and after birth, we are so grateful for her guidance!"

Kelli

"Julie was amazing with navigating challenges with our 7-day-old. She was quick, responsive, and proactive in her communication. We felt very cared for by Julie as we navigated the difficulties of a diagnosis that was making us second guess how our newborn was feeding. She offered peace, strategies that improved feeding, and followed up consistently until we had worked through feeding challenges. Highly recommend!"

Marnie

"As a FTM, I had lots of questions regarding my lactation journey. Julie came alongside me to walk with me through a difficult time and was like a close friend (who knew a lot about babies and breastfeeding). She helped us work through a tough situation when my baby needed a little extra support. I’m so thankful for Julie and will keep her close for a while!"

About Julie

Julie Champeau

International Board Certified Lactation Consultant

While always having an interest in lactation support, prior to pursuing formal training in lactation, I wanted to experience lactation for myself. After experiencing my own breastfeeding challenges and successes, I felt ready to pursue lactation credentials. In 2020 I earned the Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) certification. At that time, I joined the team who helped me, Mom's Milk BCS for mentorship and guidance to work towards International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) credentials. I started my private practice in Atlanta in 2023. In 2024 I completed the requirements to the IBCLC certification, including 95+ hours lactation specific education, 500+ hours direct experience with breastfeeding dyads, and passing a 175 question board exam.

Occupational Therapist

Occupational therapy is a profession that focuses on using everyday life activities to promote your ability to participate in the important activities in your life. For my clients, some of these occupations include eating/swallowing, feeding, caring for others, meal prep, health management, sleep, work, and play. I have felt an innate calling for promoting success in others for as long as I can remember. I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science in 2012 and a Master of Occupational Therapy in 2013, both from the University of Florida. I began my career working with adults in hospital and rehab settings, with a focus on neurologic rehab. In 2021, I transitioned to working in the pediatric hospital with medically fragile and critically ill neonates to adolescents at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

Mom

I gave birth to my son in 2019. We shared in our own breastfeeding challenges, but I'm thankful for our co-regulating breastfeeding relationship that helped us make it through some major life transitions together. I have found that many parents are seeking a reliable, approachable professional to normalize and empathize with the drastic change that comes with newborn life and my services can fill that need for many families. In my free time, occupations that keep me balanced (and busy!) include running, hiking, traveling, reading, and watching my boy grow.
